Hillsborough Law

16/9/2025

 
Picture
​
​​The smears Hillsborough victims’ families faced were unacceptable and must not happen again. It is right that the Government is taking action to ensure a similar situation cannot be repeated.

The new Hillsborough Law will mean:
  • New Duty of Candour - public officials must act with honesty and integrity at all times
  • The largest expansion of legal aid in a decade for bereaved families
  • A new offence for misleading the public – with criminal sanctions for the most serious breaches

Making our area safer

11/7/2025

 
Today I brought together representatives from Wandsworth Council and our local police team to Tooting Bec on a walkabout followed by a roundtable meeting to discuss some of the issues facing the community. We all love the community we call home, and I want it to be better. That is why we were discussing how we can combat fly-tipping and anti-social behaviour.

Safe Space

11/12/2023

 
With the nights getting longer and recent rise in crime, some people feel uncomfortable walking in public alone. I’ve launched my Safe Space campaign, where local businesses can sign up to offer a place of safety.

For businesses that would like to sign-up, head to drrosena.co.uk/safespace 

The safety of our community is my top priority as your MP. I know not everyone will feel safe walking in public as the nights get longer.

Visit to Community Security Trust

9/11/2023

 
Since the horrific terrorist attacks on Israel in October, more than 1,000 incidents of antisemitic hate crimes have been reported to Community Secure Trust.

Today, I visited their headquarters in London to see the work they are doing to tackle antisemitism. It is a stain on our society. It must be combatted and those who perpetrate it must face the full force of the law.

Right Care, Right Person

18/8/2023

 
Police forces across England are set to stop attending many incidents concerning mental health under a new National Partnership Agreement: Right Care, Right Person.

The Government's announcement leaves far too many questions unanswered and fails to tackle the root problem of lengthy NHS waiting lists in mental health services. I have written to the Health Secretary, Steve Barclay, asking him to come clean on what action he is taking to tackle mental health waiting lists.
​
Read my full letter here:

As planning for the introduction of the Met Police's Right Care, Right Person model is underway in London, there are still many questions that need answering.

I have written to the Health Secretary to outline my concerns.

Local policing update

4/7/2023

 
Picture
One of the most important jobs I do as your local Member of Parliament is ensuring that our wonderful communities in Balham, Earlsfield, Furzedown, Tooting and Wandsworth Common remain safe and welcoming places to live.

To this end, I have recently hosted public meetings with local police leadership in Balham and Furzedown, conducted a walkaround with the Borough Superintendent around the local area, and written to the police on behalf of local residents on a wide range of issues.

Please do let me know if you have any concerns regarding crime issues in the local area - my door is always open.

Tooting Bec walk about

17/5/2023

 
Today,  I asked Wandsworth Police officers to join me on a walk about in Tooting Bec.

We spoke to local residents and discussed tackling anti-social behaviour in the area.

I know local residents have raised a number of concerns - about incidents targeting children and public safety in the area. I addressed these matters with the police, along with strategies already put in place aimed specifically at reducing worrying incidents of this kind and crime.

Over recent months, I have taken the following action on anti-social behaviour and crime on the Heaver Estate:
  • On 9th March, I wrote to the constituency police lead to raise my concerns about a series of incidents involving school children.
  • On 10th March, the local commuity policing team afreed to increase the number of officers patrolling the local area.
  • On 31st March, I wrote again to the local police team to raise concerns at a number of further incidents.
  • On 27th April, I held a public meeting with local police in South Balham so that local residents could raise their concerns about policing in the area.
  • Today, I asked local police officers to join my for a walk about on the Heaver Estate.
